I mean, the very idea that we would be imposing price controls on credit card companies, when, Joe, you and I, your viewers know,

That would simply limit the access of credit to middle and lower income Americans.

You know, the price controls also on pharmaceutical companies here in the home of the greatest research and development of medicines on earth.

But I think the largest number and the best way to afford to address affordability, if you will,

is to end this Liberation Day season of unilateral tariffs against friend and foe alike.

I hold the view that the president's use of that authority is constitutionally questionable.

I'm hopeful the Supreme Court will overturn the president's use of the tariff authority under the emergency statute.

But there's no question when you look at the numbers that Bloomberg does better than anybody else in this economy.

What's clear is that after six months of these tariffs imposed on some of America's leading trading partners, that American businesses and American consumers are paying American tariffs.

We see the negative impact on jobs.

We see the inflation, although they boast that it's not as bad as it used to be.

The fact is the reason why affordability has made its way into the political conversation is because the American people see it at the grocery store, and they're feeling it as consumers.

And so I think ending this season of government intervention, whether it be tariffs, which are taxes at the border,

whether it be price controls, whether it be nationalization of businesses around the country.

Now, 13 different businesses have been subject to nationalization steps by this administration.

Let's get back to freedom.

Let's get back to free markets.

And I promise our group and I personally am going to continue to be a voice for the principles that have always made America free and prosperous.
